About me
I will be receiving my Masters degree in Forensic Science soon and have a bachelors from the University of Washington. I have a real passion for baking/pastries....I'm hoping someday to do something with Forensic Science and be an accomplished baker/pastry chef on the side. I have a fabulous fiance' who's my one and only QA when fresh baked goods come out of the oven.
Favorite things to cook:
I love to bake! Cookies, breads, desserts, pies, cakes anything - you name it! If I haven't tried it yet, I want to! I also enjoy cooking: chicken, pastas, fish, ethnic foods (still learning). I love trying new things. My fiance' thinks my chicken katsu is the best :o)
Family cooking traditions:
As my asian friends will say...no holiday goes without rice :o) No real favorite tradition, but I love my mom's Chinese congee and steamed fish, she makes the best! We'd also have prime rib for all holidays and my dad does a great job with it. :o)
Cooking triumphs:
I've mastered my sugar cookie recipe. Trial and error several times until I've perfected the ingredients, how thick to roll the dough, and how long to bake then, down to the exact minute..no estimates here!
Cooking tragedies:
There have been times where I'll get too excited when taking out cookies and not watch the sheet when pulling it out of the oven..and well...the sheet/cookies will scrape the top of the oven and...well you know!! I get cookie all over!
My recipes
"This one is a quick recipe that merely involves mixing a few basic ingredients and patting the dough into the pan. No need to wait for the dough to rise with this approach
"
"The crumb topping is what makes these banana muffins stand apart from the ordinary. They're scrumptious
